#589216 - 01/28/13 02:53 PM HELP! Alphabetize by last name?
Acumowchek Back To Normal Registered: 12/29/07 Posts: 2337 Loc: Petaluma, CA	I've been given 3 lists which contain hundreds of names each. Is there a way to alphabetize by last name? I can sort ascending using Pages, but only works on the first name. I saw a tutorial online that says Word can alphabetize using "Word 2" in the sort drop down menu, but Office 2010 doesn't have it… Any suggestions?

(note:see next post) Hope it helps. There was somewhere in InDesign to do it if you have that. CS2 is free online.

Acumowchek Back To Normal Registered: 12/29/07 Posts: 2337 Loc: Petaluma, CA	I was dwelling on it tonight and thought if I could replace column A (First names), with column B (Last names), my world could be alright again. It can't be that simple, can it? Giz, I'll pay you a week from Tuesday. I promise.
